YouTube’s Picture in Picture mode returns to Safari on iOS 14 for all users

YouTube’s picture-in-picture (PiP) mode is active once again for iOS 14 users via their website after the feature disappeared last month. Users can access the PiP mode by opening the YouTube website on Safari and other web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera Touch etc. Users can achieve this by tapping on the small PIP icon on the left while a YouTube video is in fullscreen mode. You can continue to watch the video even after minimising the browser app.

This feature was added to iOS 14 but was not accessible in the past month. Only YouTube Premium users were able to use the PiP mode on an iPhone or iPad. There has been no official confirmation about the feature about running YouTube videos in the background.
